@Woz: Granted that I did not attend one of the demo's, and that my statement's are subjective; I stand by them.
I have seen several movies in 3D in recent months. In all cases I found it distracting and gimmicky. The only reason I saw them, was my inattention at the box office, and I didn't realize they were 3D.
I recently took a survey about a movie I very much want to see, in which one question was "Does knowing that this movie will be released in 3D make you want to:
A)Absolutely see it
B)Maybe see it
3)Don't care / doesn't affect decision
4)Maybe not to see it
5)Definitely not see it.
My answer was emphatically #5. I definitely do not want to see that movie, or any other, in 3D.
@Geisrud: The technology is considerbly better in what Panasonic is doing which would make it much improved over what your currently seeing in theaters. It was no contest, granted it was a controlled environment with source material designed specifically for the demo.
@Geisrud: I like the new 3D technology. It is a huge step from the red/blue technology and I agree that it is at times distracting from the story, but I see it as a step toward perfecting the art. I look forward to a more realistic form of 3D that makes you feel as a part of the story and not just a spectator. What fun games will be when 3D is perfected!
@SEDAGIVE?!: For cable TV outside the U.S--sport was the driver, so it could be the same here. To that end, the NBA has done tets...and Sky in the UK is looking at 3D football and Olympics broadcasts. That *could* be what gets it past the line.

I sincerely hope this craze goes away soon.
